interior specs??

[Michael D.]

Hello all,
I was wonding where i could find information about proper seat cover installation as far as being NCRS correct..ie seat corners too rounded or too square, proper insert/foam/spring height and so-on. Does the Judging manuals have any info.? I am an upholsterer looking to do the job right the FIRST time for NCRS members in my area and chapter. Some of the new foam and springs are denser or higher then what was originaly removed and some members feel this is "not the way it should look for NCRS judging". Any help would be appeciated. Thank you. Mike D

If you have never done the seats better start on a driver not destened for flight judging. Observations (original seats) is the only known way of learning the correct appearance of the seat cover installations. I did a seminar for our chapter members since there was a big interest on this very subject. There are a lot of little " tricks" that were shared. Maybe you can get the same done for your chapter members by a veteran seat cover guy.

Thanks Geno, I have been in the upholstery field for 31 years and I have done many Vette seats. Its sometimes difficult to see an "original" set of seats that haven't been repaired, foam added and so-on. I will have to keep looking and take a camera with me when I go to Carlisle in August.
